The superior room I got was complete with general services for breakfast, better internet connection, for instance. The service was great, the food was appetising. Besides, my parking was in front of the hotel. The location was great and beautiful, you can visit Theodosius Cistern by walking. Moreover, the area was quiet.
Wi-Fi wasn't working, made me a little nervous.

The location was incredible, not too far from Basilica Cistern. Btw, it was just 5 min walk to downtown. They gave us wheelchair accessible room with a bathroom and that was essential.

Hotel was nicely decorated, staff was gentle. The location was stunning, relatively close to Basilica Cistern. It was located in a busy area near to the Tram that connects to the metro as well as old town, a perfect place for me. All the services were terrific! Had opportunity to use wake up calls at no cost.
